Allegra sat up and clutched the pillow to her chest. I stood from the chair. My gaze locked with hers as I crossed the room.
“Giada is protective of her family,” my father said.
“Giada is hungry for power. Keep a leash and a muzzle on her. When she feels threatened, she strikes out.” I cupped Allegra’s cheek, then slid my thumb along her lower lip. She held my wrist, opened her mouth, and swiped her tongue against the edge of my thumb.
I pushed into her mouth. Her lips closed around it, and she sucked. Heat rushed through my veins, flaring in intensity. She fucking unraveled every misconception I had of her.
“I’ll speak to her, Marco. I want your new bride to be at home here.”
I shoved my thumb deeper into her mouth, pressing against her tongue. The fingers of her left hand disappeared beneath the sheet. Her eyes slid closed, and her body shuttered. I didn’t need to see where she’d put her fingers to see the effect it had on her. Her hips rocked against the hand moving between her legs, and she moaned as she sucked. The wet inner walls of her cheek gloved to my skin.
“We’ll return for a short visit. But we’ll live here. I’ll need a home for my bride. Ask Anna to begin searching.” My sister would understand the size and security I’d require for a permanent residence.
“Molto bene.”Very good.
With a promise to speak soon, I ended the call and tossed the phone to the nightstand.
I braced one knee on the bed and leaned into my fiancé. “You should be sleeping.”
“I didn’t want to sleep alone.”
I wrapped my fingers around her throat, urged her onto her back, and followed her down. Splitting her lips, I thrust my tongue into her mouth, swallowing her whimpers, and I devoured her.
“I’ll make you come, topolina.” I grazed my knuckles across her abdomen then lower.
“Marco,” she whispered as I slid my fingers into her slick folds. Her hand curved around my neck as she pulled my lips closer to hers.
“Tell me what you want.”
“Just you.”
Allegra
The sun was warm on my face as I sat with my mother and sister on the patio for an alfresco breakfast of fruit and pastries. Marco spoke with my father and brother.
Orlando, Emilio, and Antonio joined Tim and several of my father’s soldiers at the buffet table.
My mother flipped through her wedding planner. “I need you to sit with me today and make the final decisions on the wedding.”
The engagement was just a formality. My mother had been planning and plotting my wedding for years. I just wanted it over, although I wasn’t sure what marriage to Marco would look like.
As if sensing my thoughts lingered on the way he’d touched me this morning, he glanced at me over the rim of his coffee cup.
A slow smile spread across my lips, and my face warmed.
My mother followed my gaze. “Allegra, you need to stop.” She lowered her voice. “Everyone knows where you spent last night. Spending the night in his bed on the first day of his return? You don’t even know him.”
I snapped my gaze at my mom. “And yet you’re planning my marriage to him.”
“Do you think he wants a whore for a wife?”
“Yes.” I popped a bite of a scone into my mouth. “Don’t all men?” I leaned back on the chair and propped my foot on the seat.
“Sit like a lady.”
“I thought we just came to the conclusion I’m not a lady.”
“And dragging your sister down with you.”
